25.01.2022 Hi Everyone, I hope you're all well. I thought this might be of interest to some of you who are located in Melbourne. My amazing housemate from Green Light Theatre is putting on this incredible play telling the very important story of two women who have just come out of prison. I thought it might be relevant as it displays the complexity of trauma and how it can play out later on in life and within relationships. Also, the performance that they are putting on on the 14th Dec is a fundraiser to support women leaving prison! I've seen this twice now and I just loved it. If you're interested, here's the link. https://www.trybooking.com/book/event?eid=565703

25.01.2022 I took this picture on New Years Day! I was staying out at Eltham with some friends and wed just been swimming at the Laughing Waters.... total bliss! Seeing this sign was the perfect reminder of how to start the year. Although were now in February and things are back into full swing again, the message is still strong! I can be really good at showing love and compassion towards others but can sometimes struggle with showing it towards myself. At times it means doing les...s and saying no to that extra thing that I thought I could take on. Sometimes it means doing the one thing that really scares me and that Ive been avoiding. Sometimes it means creating space for myself to get clear on what I need to move forward. Its a work in progress and its important to celebrate the little victories in life even if it is just a moment for yourself. If you need some time for you, and want some clarity of purpose and setting direction; check out my upcoming mountain yoga retreat at Clearview Retreat, King Parrot Valley from 27-29th March. Visit www.changewithyoga.com for details.

23.01.2022 Ive recently started offering Yoga Therapy on Demand which are 30 minute online sessions designed to support those experiencing anxiety. Together we draw upon yoga techniques that work in with your specific needs and circumstances. How one person experiences anxiety might be completely different to the next person and yoga therapy really honours this. If youre curious about how yoga therapy might be able to support you, feel free to get in touch. For bookings visit www.changewithyoga.com or www.usawa.com.au

22.01.2022 As some of you already know, I'm now offering Yoga Therapy sessions from Nicholson Health and Wellness,North Fitzroy every second Tuesday! It's a great feeling to finally have a whole day dedicated to seeing clients again! People come to see me for all different reasons but one common presentation I find, is the experience of anxiety. It seems that more and more people are looking for ways to help manage and reduce their symptoms so I thought I'd write a blog about how yoga... therapy can help. If you, or someone you know experiences anxiety and are curious about how yoga therapy can assist, please do get in touch. https://nicholsonhealthandwellness.com.au/how-yoga-therapy/

16.01.2022 I have come to the conclusion that human beings are born with an innate capacity to triumph over trauma. I believe not only that it is curable, but that the healing process can be a catalyst for profound awakening- a portal opening to emotional and genuine spiritual transformation. I have little doubt that as individuals, families, communities, and even nations, we have the capacity to learn how to heal and prevent much of the damage done by trauma. In so doing, we will significantly increase our ability to achieve our individual and collective dreams. Peter A. Levine: Healing Trauma; A Pioneering Program for Restoring the Wisdom of Your Body

15.01.2022 Addiction is not a choice anybody makes. Its a response to emotional pain. Do we need to rethink addiction?

13.01.2022 As a yoga therapist I’ve been finding this year, with the heaviness of a global pandemic (amongst the general stresses of life); more and more people are coming to me with a heightened stress response, chronic fatigue (CFS/ME) and burnout.

13.01.2022 These are certainly unsettling times and can feel like a bit of an emotional roller coaster. It sure has been tricky adjusting to the affects of the Coronavirus worldwide and its important to be kind and compassionate to ourselves and others throughout all of this. Lots of people Ive been speaking to have been feeling high levels of anxiety as they try to navigate through this situation. How are you going? What have you been finding helpful? One thing I know from my own ex...perience is that it can be really useful to draw upon yogic practices to help regulate ourselves and each other through these times. Im currently offering Yoga Therapy on Demand which are 30 minute online sessions designed to manage anxiety. If youre curious about what practices might be useful for you please do get in touch. Together we can create a program that works for you. For more info or to book in visit.... www.changewithyoga.com or www.isawa.com.au

13.01.2022 There are many different ways that we can find self care in our daily lives, and this might change over time and in different circumstances. Being out in nature is a huge part of my self care as is creating movement in my body. As we move into lockdown, Im finding this even more important to help nourish myself and self regulate. Ive been loving the crisp mornings and bursts of sunshine in between the rain, and have loved capturing these images. My yoga practice is another... way I use to support myself through the ups and downs of my life. When Im distracted or overwhelmed, yoga has been helpful to me build my capacity to be in the now. What do you find useful during these unsettling times? If youre curious about yoga and if you have experienced trauma, I have a 10 week online course starting soon.

10.01.2022 I love this picture!

10.01.2022 Through sustained focus and meditation on our patterns, habits, and conditioning, we gain knowledge and understanding of our past and how we can change the patterns that arent serving us to live more freely and fully. -Yoga Sutra III.18- This is the beautiful space @nicholsonhealthandwellness where I am offering yoga therapy every second Tuesday. I always look forward to being in this space, such an inspiring team of health professionals working together to support client...s to balance and wellbeing!

09.01.2022 Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom. -Victor E. Frankl- This last week has been a tough one for me. Without going into the details, Ive felt like Ive been on a roller coaster to say the least; but the experience has been bittersweet! Somehow within the adversity Ive also felt overwhelmed by the love and support of my friends and family, as well as incredibly grateful for my own practice. My yoga practice is just that! Its a practice and it sure has paid off in times when I am challenged. I love the above quote! Its taught me within my practice to be really present with how I am in the now. The more I can practice being present with myself, the more skilfulI I become in knowing what I need.

03.01.2022 Last weekend I watched the documentary Cracked Up; the story of Darrell Hammond. It's currently showing on Netflix. It's been quite the topic in our household and has made a lasting impression. This documentary is about childhood trauma and how this can have such a profound affect on people in adult life. It's a confronting watch but so worth it. There is a mention of the benefits of yoga and other body based practices and features a discussion with Dr Bessel Van der Kolk. Check out the trailer below. This relates to so much of the work that I do in both Trauma Center Trauma Sensitive Yoga (TCTSY) and Yoga Therapy. https://youtu.be/fK_WmHUqvvk

02.01.2022 Im so excited to be running this workshop with Caroline from Experience Yoga check out this video to hear about whats involved and for the details.

02.01.2022 Last Saturday I was lucky enough to be in the ACT and attended a @yogaaustralia event. I love these gatherings as its a chance to connect with other yoga teachers and therapists, to hear how Yoga Australia is helping to promote positive change for the yoga industry in Australia and I love the CPD they organise with these events too! I was particularly interested in this one as it was with Chris from @frontlineyogainc Frontline Yoga is doing amazing work offering trauma awar...e and culturally informed classes for first responders, emergency services and military veterans. If you know of anyone who might be interested send them their way. Frontline Yoga also offers trainings in this area too. I was also super excited to meet the wonderful @kendrahealingarts a yoga therapist based in the ACT too. Such a win win weekend @ Rise Studio Canberra
